PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE INFORMATION BELOW REGARDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS APPEAL

Definitions/Terms

"NRAP" stands for Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure, which govern procedure in the Nevada Supreme Court and Nevada Court of Appeals.

"Pro se" refers to a party acting on his or her own behalf without the assistance of an attorney.

"In forma pauperis" refers to a party who has been determined by a court to be indigent and not required to pay filing fees. Only a court can grant a party in forma pauperis status. Please see NRAP 24 for more information.

Copies of all documents sent to the court for filing must also be served on all other parties in the appeal. Such service should be made at the same time the document is sent for filing, and may be accomplished by mailing a copy of the document to the other party (if the other party has an attorney, the document should be mailed to the attorney). Please see NRAP 25(b) and NRAP 25(c). The rules do not require that copies served on other parties be file-stamped by the court.
